The $365 Trillion Debt Trap: Why Bond Vigilantes are Returning to Discipline Western Treasuries

Companies are racing to map data inventories, classify sensitive workflows and prepare for a future whitelist of permitted overseas destinations. Yet the biggest unresolved issue is not technical but regulatory: how aggressively the government will enforce, how quickly rules will harden, and whether India’s privacy regime will become a trust dividend for digital commerce or a costly drag on innovation and data-driven growth.
